Racing the clock: can a Baby's full genetic code speed up diagnosis in the ICU?
NCT ID NCT04848090
Summary
This study aims to see if reading a newborn's entire genetic code (whole genome sequencing) can help doctors find a diagnosis faster than standard tests when a baby is critically ill in the intensive care unit. Researchers will enroll 400 newborns and their parents to compare the speed, accuracy, and impact of this genetic testing on medical decisions and hospital costs. The goal is to understand if this technology leads to quicker answers and better care for these fragile infants.
